This company has been paying drivers $14,000 each week, which equates to $60,000 a month, and over $650,000 a year. No matter what freight you’re hauling, it’s practically impossible to find another job that pays in the same realm as this.

I saw that. My buddy would jump on that in a heartbeat if it wasn't in S TX. I guess they haul the OS loads of windmill tubes. His wife would love it (Because he wouldn't be home).
He just got rear-ended in Indy, Thursday, I think. I think he said it was on I465. A dump truck with 60,000 of gravel rear-ended his pneumatic tanker. I didn't ask if he was loaded or not. I think he runs about 40,000 lbs of product at a time.
He called me Sunday and said he was hurting (I'm sure his wife couldn't care less). Haven't heard from him since.
(Edit) I just heard from him. He's had his mashed up trailer to E&R in Middlepoint, OH and been to the MDs that did nothing. I didn't think to ask if they checked the bolts in his kingpin or fifth wheel. I'm sure they didn't. Bidet's wonderful new Uhmerikka.
I swear, everything's broken. How can you do that in eight months?

Great song, thanks.

Thanks, Dad. A buddy and me did that with a young gal (really young about 21) several years ago. He drove her in her 5.0 Mustang, and I followed in my ol' Sonoma.
She wouldn't give up the password to her fancy iPhone and she didn't have keys to her mother's trailer in New Haven. She was puking out the passenger side of he car for awhile until my buddy got her password. I'm not a big fan of holding some chick's head so she doesn't puke in her fancy car.
We finally got a hold of her mother who worked at Wal-Mart (of course), and turned her over to Mommy. Mommy was a little surprised to see two pretty big men trying to help Princess be safe.
